3. The funny thing is that HRC after June 14th won't need that many Superdelegates to reach 2383!

She's got too many right now! If she keeps the Superdelegates she has right now she will have more than 300 extra on June 14th after all the Pledged Delegates are divvied up.

For him to deny her the nomination he will need her down to less that 210 Super Delegates! Then she won't reach 2382.

But that will mean denying the nomination to the candidate that reached all the pertinent metrics for the nomination!
